100.11 is what percent of 114 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 114 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 114, so we can write it down as 100%=114.
4. We know, that x% equals 100.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=100.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114
2) x%=100.11
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=114/100.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 100.11 is what percent of 114

100%/x%=114/100.11
(100/x)*x=(114/100.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1387473778843*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1387473778843) to get x
100/1.1387473778843=x
87.815789473684=x
x=87.815789473684

now we have:
100.11 is 87.815789473684% of 114
